Safety Guidelines

The PENETRATOR is equipped with an automatic anti dry-re
safety, which engages every time the crossbow is cocked. The
safety must be released before each shot. This, as with any other
mechanical device, does not guarantee total safety, as no safety
device is a substitute for common sense and safe handling. The
crossbow trigger is only to be pulled when the safety is in “re”
position and NEVER when it is in the “safe” position or anywhere
between “safe” and “re.” Do not attempt to alter or modify the
safety or the trigger mechanism.

The following rules should be followed at all times:

EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES WHEN
HANDLING A CROSSBOW. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

• Always inspect your crossbow and arrows before ring. Bent
or damaged arrows/nocks are not safe to re and should be
discarded or repaired.

• Always keep your ngers below the ight track and out of
the path of the string and cables when ring the crossbow.
The velocity of the string striking your ngers as the string
travels forward could cause severe personal injury.

• Never dry-re the crossbow (shoot without an arrow). Dry ring
will void the warranty and can result in damage to the string,
cables, and limbs, possibly causing personal injury.

• Never re the crossbow until you are sure of your target.

• Always use an adequate target and backstop when target
shooting.

• Always use suitable crossbow arrows, such as Barnett 20”
carbon arrows with half moon nocks. Arrows of improper
stiness or mass weight may damage the string, cables, and
limbs, voiding the warranty and possibly causing personal
injury. Too light of an arrow can cause a dry-re/misre.

Assembly Guide

Attaching Optional Quiver

IMPORTANT: Quiver must be installed

prior to attaching the bow assembly.

• Locate the picatinny rail on the underside of
the stock (in front of forearm).

• Slide the quick detach quiver bracket on the
rail. Line up the quick detach quiver bracket
with one of two optional quiver placement
holes. (See Figure 1) Attach with the screw
provided.

• Attach quiver by placing it on the quick detach bracket
with the plastic studs facing the mounting plate at a
slight angle and twist to secure.

Installing Cable Slide

When viewing the cable slide from the side, with
the concave surface facing up, notice that one of
the two cable notches is positioned deeper into
the cable slide than the other. See Figure 2.

IMPORTANT: Cable slide must be installed prior to
attaching the bow assembly.

• Apply Barnett lubewax to the top of the cable
slide (the part that comes in contact with the un­derside of the ight track in the stock).

• Place the top cable into the deeper of the two
notches and the bottom cable into the more shal­low notch on the cable slide. This allows the cable
slide to maintain a relatively level position on top
of the two cables. See Figure 3.
